No matter if you’re just starting out on your own or if you’ve managed a salon for years, you’ll find Timely gives you a clear picture of your business performance and helps you make confident decisions. Our reporting, marketing and staff management tools can help you learn what’s working, what’s not, and where you can make more money.

Review Summary
Generated using AI from real user reviews
Timely receives overwhelming praise from most users, though one reviewer found it lacking. The four satisfied customers consistently highlight an intuitive interface, strong customer support, and competitive pricing without long-term contracts—features they value highly after trying alternatives. Users particularly appreciate proactive communication from the team and regular feature updates driven by user feedback. One mobile beauty company and multiple salon operators report switching from other systems and not looking back, citing better control and more functionality at lower cost.
The single critical review cites poor user experience, rising prices, and missing features, but provides no detail. This contrasts sharply with the detailed praise from other users. The positive reviews mention specific strengths like gift voucher sales integration and intuitive design, suggesting the dissenting view may reflect particular use-case mismatch rather than universal problems. One note: a user requests Android and Windows apps, indicating the platform currently centers on iPhone.

“We found Timely after already investing in another salon system.…”
We found Timely after already investing in another salon system. Unfortunately it became clear very quickly that it just wouldn't work for us, so we did some research and Timely kept popping up. We spoke to the fabulous Neil in the London office and we were up and running in two days. Their proactive approach to functionality, communication and all round client service is second to none. The information we have at our finger tips is relevant, the system is intuitive to use and has features that we simply could not do without now. We ? Timely!

“I have used a few other systems in my salon…”
I have used a few other systems in my salon but they were costly, kept freezing and just didn't give me the control of my business that they claimed. I found timely and have not looked back! Fantastic system, easy to use, has all the features of other systems and more, is a fraction of the cost and has no contracts! Interested? Make sure to tell them I sent you! Oh, and you can sell gift vouchers on your website too with timely! :)

“Timely makes running my business easy! It's beautiful and simple…”
Timely makes running my business easy! It's beautiful and simple to use (by far the easiest I've had). They have great support staff, who are friendly and really helpful. I also like that they're always adding new stuff like features that we've voted on! Timely has been a real lifesaver!
